The nutrition of the the Chinchilla as a companion animal

[StevieP]

Has some interesting data on incisor growth and wear.... But some of the things they fed are concerning, like carrots.

That is interesting. But, ultimately, they make the suggestion of giving fruit and mixed food (pellet feed with other food in it, i.e not all uniform pellets) which is kind of concerning. They base this on a few facts they concluded from these data they found but I think the conclusions were premature since they didn't research all aspects of feeding this kind of diet they suggest.
